SUMMARY:Webinar: How to Use Upcoming Poverty\, Income\, and Health Insurance Data
DESCRIPTION:In an election year\, it’s especially important to assess where we’ve made progress\, and what’s held us back. \nPlease join us on Thursday\, September 5th\, at 1 pm ET\, for a webinar to prepare you for the annual Census Bureau release of state and local poverty\, income\, and health insurance data. \nThe Census Bureau will release national poverty\, income\, and health insurance data on September 10\, followed by state and local data on these and many other topics from the American Community Survey on September 12. \nEvery year\, it’s important to understand income and health insurance trends – but it’s especially important now\, because the nation experienced a dramatic reduction in child poverty as a result of the 2021 Child Tax Credit\, only to see poverty surge after the CTC was allowed to expire. What has happened since? Have the Biden Administration’s vigorous efforts to promote Affordable Care Act health insurance\, along with more generous premium tax credits\, resulted in fewer uninsured people? \nWe’ll help you get ready to find and use the information coming out starting September 10 – with insightful analyses about poverty and health coverage\, and practical instructions on how to navigate the Census Bureau’s website – so you can get the state/local data you need\, and know how to find breakdowns by age\, race\, and ethnicity\, and how to show trends over time. \nList of speakers: \n\nChristopher Wimer\, Director of the Center on Poverty and Social Policy at the Columbia University School of Social Work\nStan Dorn\, Director\, Health Policy Project\, UnidosUS -Deborah Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs\nEllen Teller\, Chief Government Affairs Officer\, Food Research and Action Center (FRAC)\, Moderator\n\nIf you are interested in the webinar but cannot join us\, please register anyway. All registrants will receive the recording\, slides\, and follow-up information. We welcome you to forward this to other advocates who may be interested. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Webinar:  Project 2025’s Threats to Human Needs Programs
DESCRIPTION:You’ve probably heard about Project 2025 – which produced a 900+-page compendium of extremist proposals put out by the right-wing Heritage Foundation (although the head of the project left the Heritage Foundation after Project 2025 proved intensely unpopular). So why should you know about these plans? Because they have been developed by many with connections to the former Trump Administration and are similar to certain proposals before Congress now. Whoever wins the election\, these proposals to shrink human needs programs may emerge – and we have to be ready. \nDuring this webinar\, you’ll learn about Project 2025 proposals to limit Medicaid and other health programs and to eliminate education and early childhood programs as well as limiting access to free school meals. You’ll also learn about efforts to politicize the federal workforce and limit protections for voters and consumers and against discrimination. And very important – you’ll hear about public opinion research showing just how unpopular these proposals are\, and how that can strengthen our advocacy for meeting human needs and for basic justice. \nWatch a recording of it here. \nList of speakers: \n\nJulie Tippens\, Director of the Legislative\, Political and Mobilization Department\, American Federation of Government Employees\nNatasha Murphy\, Director\, Health Policy\, Center for American Progress\nLily Klam\, Director\, Education Policy\, First Focus on Children\nMeeta Anand\, Senior Director\, Census and Data Equity\, Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights\nBryan Bennett\, Navigator Research & Senior Director of Polling & Analytics at The Hub Project\nDeborah Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs\, Moderator\n\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:PANDEMIC AND RESPONSE: Using Census and Other Data to Track Poverty\, Hardship and the Impact of Aid During a Tumultuous Time Description
DESCRIPTION:You can view a recording of CHN’s training webinar here. Please also see the slides here\, \nThe Census Bureau will release new poverty\, income and health insurance data on September 13-15. This data will cover the pandemic year of 2021\, a year in which COVID cases surged early\, plunged and then rose again by year’s end. How did people fare\, and what differences were there by age\, race/ethnicity\, and income? Did the Child Tax Credit and other pandemic aid help? And while the survey data to be released in September only covers 2021\, what other data is available to tell us about what is happening now? \nThis webinar will show you how to find and use the 2021 national\, state and local data to be released in September\, how to make use of other and newer data showing changes in poverty by month\, and how many were unable to afford enough food or struggled to pay regular expenses through August of this year. You’ll learn how to navigate changes in the Census Bureau’s website and tools. \nYou’ll get an expert economic assessment about where we are now\, and learn how to use all the available information – some specific to your state or locality – to make the case for investments to reduce racial disparities and to help people with low incomes get ahead. \nThe webinar will be recorded; all registrants will get the live link\, with opportunities to ask questions\, and will also get the recording\, slides\, and follow-up resources. \nThe webinar will be close-captioned. \nYou can view a recording of CHN’s training webinar here. Please also see the slides here\, \n\n\n	Related

DESCRIPTION:All of Us:  Honoring forty years of the Coalition on Human Needs\n  \nOur second ever (and hopefully last!) virtual Human Needs Hero celebration will be held on Zoom this year! \nEvery year\, the Coalition on Human Needs gathers advocates\, from neophytes to veterans with decades of experience\, to celebrate our community’s steadfast commitment to standing up for the most vulnerable in our society. \nThis year is truly a landmark year for the Coalition on Human Needs\, as we celebrate four decades of commitment to meet the needs of people with low incomes. And while we want to celebrate our past\, we are truly looking toward the future as we continue to grow and diversify our coalition and ensure more and more voices stand united in support of a transformative human needs agenda. \nSo this year we’re doing things a little differently: Our 2022 Human Needs Heroes are the people and groups who make up the Coalition on Human Needs. \nWe are so proud of the exceptional organizations and activists who comprise our coalition\, from the founders who have been with us every step of the way to those who have just joined recently. Both coalition members and friends of the coalition have come together through truly exceptional and difficult circumstances to continue the fight against poverty\, systemic racism\, food and housing insecurity\, voter suppression\, and so many other injustices that contribute to widening inequality and hardship. The dedication of our community is truly heroic. \nJoin CHN in celebration of our human needs heroes! We are hoping you and/or your organization will sponsor the event and be listed in invitations and our program. \nThis is our only major fundraising event of the year and all proceeds raised go to supporting the work of the Coalition on Human Needs. So get out your best Zoom shirt\, pour your favorite drink\, and bring out your loved ones and pets for our 2022 Human Needs Hero reception. We can’t wait to celebrate forty years together.

SUMMARY:Unfinished Business: The FY23 Biden Budget and what's next for human needs programs
DESCRIPTION:On March 28th President Biden released his proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget. This budget proposes vital investments in our future while providing for the urgent economic and public health investments that families need now. \nJoin the Coalition on Human Needs and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to hear policy experts who will explain what you need to know about the President’s new budget and how it can be the blueprint for congressional action. \nThe Biden budget tackles the unfinished business before us. It pledges continued support for an economic package needed now\, including the expanded Child Tax Credit and EITC\, affordable child care\, health care\, housing\, and reduced prescription drug costs and climate change mitigation. And it proposes important expansions of mental health services\, affordable housing\, education funding\, more humane treatment of immigrants\, and much more. \nThe Biden budget shows we can afford the investments our nation needs while reducing the deficit\, by requiring the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay a fairer share of taxes. \nYou’ll learn about these proposals\, and how to use them to get Congress to act on its once-in-a-generation opportunities to pass historic economic legislation that would lift millions out of poverty and reduce inequities that hold us back. The time to get the job done is now. \nSee slides from this webinar here. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Inflation Truths: Why Build Back Better will help\, not hurt
DESCRIPTION:A captioned recording of the webinar is available at this link here. Find the slides at this link here. \nRising prices on food and essential goods affect everyone\, but they have a disproportionately high impact on people with low incomes. With recent inflation higher than it’s been in decades\, some have pointed the finger at government spending and worry President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda will contribute to further price increases. \nBut the facts tell a different story. Join the Coalition on Human Needs for a webinar that explains the inflationary moment we are in now: its causes\, solutions\, and government actions to alleviate current hardships. \nYou’ll hear from Jared Bernstein\, an economist for President Biden who is serving on the White House Council of Economic Advisers\, Josh Bivens\, Director of Research at the Economic Policy Institute\, and Rakeen Mabud\, chief economist at the Groundwork Collaborative. You’ll learn how we can address concerns over inflation as we continue the push for truly transformational investments in health care\, housing\, child care\, protecting against climate change\, and much more. \nEven if you can’t make the webinar\, sign up and you’ll be emailed a captioned recording of the webinar\, slides\, and other resources. \nA captioned recording of the webinar is available at this link here.

SUMMARY:Poverty and Hardship – Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Watch this webinar here. Slides available at this link here. \nEvery year\, CHN provides training on what to expect from the Census Bureau’s annual poverty\, income\, and health insurance data\, and how to find and use the data online. But the pandemic and the ensuing economic shutdown has complicated the data that’s being released and its interpretation. But don’t fret: We’re tailoring our training to prepare you for this year’s needs. \nJoin us for a webinar that will put the upcoming Census Bureau release in context and tell you how to use its findings.  The Census Bureau’s new data\, to be released on Sept. 14\, covers the year 2020.  But there is also more current data\, available this year for the first time\, that we want you to know how to use.  Together\, these sources make the case for the package of poverty-fighting policies proposed for action now in Congress. \nThe timing is perfect for you to learn about and act on this information – so please join us! \nRegister here. \nPresenters: \nThe Context:  Economic progress means addressing racial and ethnic disparities\nWilliam Spriggs:  An economist with a distinguished career in public policy and equity in employment\, William Spriggs is a professor in\, and former Chair of\, the Department of Economics at Howard University and Chief Economist for the AFL-CIO.  He served as Assistant Secretary for the Office of Policy at the U.S. Department of Labor in the Obama Administration\, and had senior economic policy roles at the Economic Policy Institute\, National Urban League\, and at the Joint Economic Committee of Congress. \nToday’s Reality:  We’ll hear from Christopher Wimer and Megan Curran from the Columbia University Center on Poverty and Social Policy and Claire Zippel from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to learn about current monthly poverty estimates and the Census Bureau’s Household Pulse data showing the hardships households face trying to cover regular household expenses\, including food\, housing\, and utilities. \nHow to Put it Together:  Deborah Weinstein\, Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs\, will explain how to use the data coming out on September 14\, and how to combine it with the other sources to make the case for a Build Back Better agenda that can lead to unprecedented progress in reducing poverty. \nThis webinar will be close captioned.

SUMMARY:Making August Recess Count: Building Support for Federal Recovery Legislation to Advance Racial Equity
DESCRIPTION:View a recording of this webinar here. See the slides here. \nThe Biden Administration’s proposed American Jobs and American Families Plans provide unprecedented opportunities to address deep-seated racial inequities in education\, employment\, health\, housing\, and income. With this Administration and Congress\, we have a very real chance of advancing once-in-a-lifetime legislation that would lift millions out of poverty\, help all kids reach their full potential\, get workers better pay and benefits\, and expand health coverage. \nBut none of this can become a reality without Congress. And while Congress adjourns for recess this August\, we have an ideal opportunity to build momentum for lasting change. Join the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, Community Change\, and the Coalition on Human Needs for a webinar on:\n• Why recovery legislation is so important\, and how it can advance racial equity;\n• What comes next\, and the strategy moving forward;\n• What tools\, resources\, and tactics you can use for engaging Congress this August recess. \nView a recording of this webinar here.

SUMMARY:The Next COVID Relief Bill: Why it's important and what you can do
DESCRIPTION:View a streaming captioned copy of the webinar here. The presenter slide deck is available here. \nJared Bernstein\, top Biden economist serving on the White House Council of Economic Advisers\, will join CHN to explain how the COVID relief legislation now moving through Congress is the right size\, with the right policies\, to get us on the road to economic and pandemic recovery. \nCalled the American Rescue Plan\, this robust $1.9 trillion plan proposed by the new Biden administration supports COVID vaccines and health care; cuts child poverty in half; helps the unemployed; provides more nutrition aid\, housing assistance\, one-time payments\, child care\, and paid leave; supports education and other state and local services; and much\, much more. \nModerator Ellen Teller of the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) will field questions for Jared.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Budget Strategy to Pass a COVID Bill in the Senate: Reconciliation 101
DESCRIPTION:Register to view a recording of this webinar here. Find slides here. \nThere is a way to enact legislation in the Senate with only a simple majority (51 votes\, not 60): it requires Congress to pass a joint budget resolution with “reconciliation instructions.” This webinar will explain how it works: what is allowed through reconciliation; what isn’t; how often this tactic can be utilized; likely timetables. We’ll discuss this in the context of the COVID Rescue Plan being advanced by the incoming Biden Administration. \nOur expert presenters: \nJoel Friedman\, Vice President\, Federal Fiscal Policy\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities \nTamara Fucile\, Senior Advisor for Government Affairs\, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities \nModerator: Debbie Weinstein\, Executive Director\, Coalition on Human Needs \nThis webinar is best suited to advocates who are working on federal policies/funding related to all aspects of the pandemic. \n \nWant to dive in further? Here are some excellent resources on reconciliation: \n\nCenter on Budget and Policy Priorities: Introduction to Budget “Reconciliation”\nHouse Committee on the Budget: Budget Reconciliation: The Basics\nCongressional Research Service: The Budget Reconciliation Process: Stages of Consideration\nCongressional Research Service: Senate Organization in the 107th Congress: Agreements Reached in a Closely Divided Senate\nCongressional Research Service: The Budget Reconciliation Process: The Senate’s “Byrd Rule”\n\nCongressional Research Service: The Senate Powersharing Agreement of the 107th Congress (2001-2003): Key Features\nHolland & Knight: Senate Elections Make Budget Reconciliation a Potential Tool in 117th Congress\n\n\nQuestions about Senate parliamentarian; who selects; role: The current Senate Parliamentarian is Elizabeth MacDonough\, who has been serving since 2012 (she was appointed by then Democratic Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid).  The Parliamentarian rules on whether provisions belong in a reconciliation bill.  The presiding officer in the Senate (either the Vice President or the President Pro Tempore (now Senator Leahy) can decide to rule differently than the advice of the Parliamentarian\, although this is very rare – the last time it happened was in 1975.  According to CQ\, this is how it would work related to whether a provision could be included in a reconciliation bill (that is\, whether it meets the test of the Byrd rule):\n\n“Then\, a senator who believes a provision runs afoul of the Byrd rule could raise a point of order\, and the presiding officer at that point could decide the point of order is “not well taken\,” regardless of the parliamentarian’s advice. \nThe senator could then appeal the ruling of the chair. But under a special provision of the 1974 law that established the modern budget process\, it would require 60 votes to sustain the appeal.” \nThat is\, Vice President Harris could rule that a provision (for example\, raising the minimum wage) was allowable\, and it would take 60 votes to overrule that decision.  By the infrequency of this move\, it is clear it would not be done lightly. \nWe need lots of people to contact Congress in order for the American Rescue Plan to pass.  Please help by forwarding this request to your lists for individuals to click and send emails to their senators and representative: \nPlease tell Congress to enact President Biden’s new COVID rescue plan. \nThe $1.9 trillion package\, according to the New York Times\, “includes more than $400 billion to combat the pandemic directly\, including money to accelerate vaccine deployment and to safely reopen most schools within 100 days. An additional $350 billion would help state and local governments bridge budget shortfalls\, while the plan would also include a dramatic increase in tax credits to help lift children\, families\, and workers out of poverty\, $1\,400 direct payments to individuals\, more generous unemployment benefits\, federally mandated paid leave for workers\, food and housing aid\, and large subsidies for child care costs.” \nThe essential legislation also provides critical aid to renters\, people threatened with or experiencing homelessness\, households unable to pay heat or water bills\, and offers an extension of the eviction and foreclosure moratoria. Click on the link below to learn more about the plan and then write to your representative and senators. \nClick here to learn more about the “American Rescue Plan” and then write to your members of Congress today. \nIf you have any questions please contact Nicolai Haddal: nhaddal@chn.org \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Webinar: Then and Now: How to Use New Census Surveys About Poverty\, Income\, and Health from 2019 and 2020
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss CHN’s annual webinar on using new Census surveys about poverty\, income\, and health from 2019 and 2020? Don’t fret! Sign up here to receive a captioned recording of the webinar along with further resources and follow-up materials. Webinar description below: \nWednesday\, September 9\, 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. ET  \nAll registrants will receive the webinar’s recording\, slides\, and extra information.  The webinar will be close-captioned.  \nIn 2019\, unemployment averaged 3.7 percent.  In July 2020\, it was 10.2 percent. The pandemic blew a hole in our economy.  In mid-September\, the Census Bureau will release its annual poverty\, income\, and health insurance statistics for 2019.  Census has also collected new Household Pulse survey data\, telling us about economic security now.  There’s a lot we can learn from 2019\, while still recognizing that conditions are painfully different for millions of Americans today. \nThis webinar will prepare you for what we’ll learn about 2019\, how to get and use the data for your state or city\, and how it compares to new data showing alarming numbers of households with less earnings\, going without food\, falling behind in rent\, and lacking health insurance. \nNationally known economist Jared Bernstein will predict what we can expect to see in the 2019 data and compare it to today’s economic crisis.  Poverty expert Arloc Sherman will tell you how to use the new Household Pulse survey (with national\, state and city data since the pandemic’s onset).  Debbie Weinstein\, expert Census data trainer\, will provide hands-on guidance on how to use – and how to talk about – the data coming out in September. \nSpeaker Bios:  \nJared Bernstein joined the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in 2011 as a Senior Fellow. From 2009 to 2011\, Bernstein was the Chief Economist and Economic Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden\, Executive Director of the White House Task Force on the Middle Class\, and a member of President Obama’s economic team.  He is the author and coauthor of numerous books for both popular and academic audiences\, including Getting Back to Full Employment: A Better Bargain for Working People\, and Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? Bernstein has published extensively in various venues\, including the New York Times and Washington Post. He is an on-air commentator for the cable stations CNBC and MSNBC\, and hosts On The Economy (jaredbernsteinblog.com). \nArloc Sherman is Vice President of Data Analysis and Research at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, focusing on family income trends\, income support policies\, and the causes and consequences of poverty.  He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on National Statistics Panel to Review and Evaluate the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation’s Content and Design.  Prior to joining the Center in 2004\, Sherman worked for 14 years at the Children’s Defense Fund.  His book Wasting America’s Future was nominated for the 1994 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award. \nDeborah Weinstein is Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs. In her four decades of advocacy experience\, Debbie has worked on a wide range of human needs issues at both the state and federal level. Prior to coming to CHN\, Weinstein served for nine years as director of the Family Income division of the Children’s Defense Fund. Every year\, she finds new ways to make the Census data accessible and useful to advocates working on local\, state\, or federal issues. \nModerator:  Ellen Teller\, Director of Government Affairs\, Food Research and Action Center (FRAC)\, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Coalition on Human Needs\, and best ever fielder of webinar questions. \nThis webinar is co-sponsored by the Coalition on Human Needs\, the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities\, Food Research & Action Center (FRAC)\, and the Partnership for America’s Children. \nSign up here to receive a captioned recording of the webinar along with further resources and follow-up materials.  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:The New Trump Budget: Why it Really Matters
DESCRIPTION:President Trump’s latest budget proposal is out. And it’s every bit as bad as we feared. \nRecently\, President Trump asked a crowd of his donors: “Who the hell cares about the budget?” \nWe do\, and we think you should too.  Why?  If the new one is similar to his past proposals\, there will be very big cuts proposed for human needs programs.  Congress has rejected these in the past.  But his plans matter\, because the Trump Administration has aggressively sought to carry them out through administrative rule-making and moving or refusing to spend money despite Congressional intent. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from experts about what the Trump budget would do and how it would affect people across America now and into the future. \nYou’ll find out more about how the President’s proposals will affect low- and moderate-income people through likely cuts to Medicaid\, SNAP\, housing\, help for people with disabilities\, education and job training\, social services\, and public health programs.  You’ll learn about the impact of tax cuts – who benefits and who is hurt by the loss of revenue. \nYou’ll also get tips on how to talk about the choices the budget makes\, its winners and losers\, and how fairer and more sensible choices can better meet our nation’s needs.  You’ll get social media tools so you can be a part of a national debate on the right budget choices. \nSpeakers: \nTamara Fucile: Tamara is Director for Government Affairs and Senior Advisor for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Tamara helps direct the Center’s work with federal policymakers and with other national organizations on a broad range of policy issues\, including federal budget and appropriations\, nutrition programs\, and housing issues. A great budget expert\, she served as Associate Director for Legislative Affairs at the Office of Management and Budget from 2014 to 2017. \nDeborah Weinstein:  Debbie is Executive Director of the Coalition on Human Needs. In her 16 years at CHN\, she has focused on educating advocates about how to engage in critical federal budget choices on behalf of low-income people. \nAccessibility Assistance: The webinar will be captioned. The webinar will also be recorded\, and all registrants will get the recording link with captions\, slides\, and follow-up information. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:EITC/CTC Call-in Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:Right now\, Congress is looking to add bipartisan tax legislation to the end-of-year budget package. It is imperative that if there is any tax legislation helping businesses and the rich that we also do what we can to help low-wage workers. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) help working families and individuals better provide for basic needs. These two tax credits together lifted 8.9 million people out of poverty in 2018\, and helped millions more\, and with improvements they can do more to alleviate poverty and help low-income families keep up with the increasing cost of living. \nOn November 6th please call: 1-888-678-9475 \nWhen you do you will be connected with your Senator’s DC office. When you are connected please ask the receptionist who answers your call to share this message with your Senator and their lead tax staff person: \n“Any tax package that passes this year must include improvements to the low-income tax credits: the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit.” \nMore Background: The overwhelming beneficiaries of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) are corporations and wealthy individuals while largely ignoring low-wage workers\, whose wages have been stagnant  in recent decades\, and their families. Congress will likely add a bipartisan package of tax provisions to end-of-year budget legislation including ‘technical corrections’ for business provisions in the TCJA. Those corrections will add more tax breaks worth billions for business. Senators need to hear from us now that any tax package must help low-income workers. \nThe 2017 law included a highly touted $1\,000-per-child increase in the CTC (from $1\,000 to $2\,000 per child). However\, low-income working families with 11.4 million children are receiving only a token CTC increase of $75 or less. The reason is because under the 2017 law the CTC doesn’t start to phase in until a tax filer has more than $2\,500 in earnings\, and it then phases in slowly. And if a family’s CTC would exceed the federal income tax it owes the family cannot receive more than $1\,400 per child as a tax refund. \nThe EITC for low-wage workers who aren’t raising children in their home is often too small even to offset the income and payroll taxes that these workers must pay\, and doesn’t cover workers of all ages. That’s the main reason why the federal tax code taxes more than 5 million such workers into or deeper into poverty. Despite longstanding bipartisan support to boost the EITC for these workers\, the 2017 tax-cut law failed to include it. \n\n\n\n\n	Related
